Very clever, this is a film within a film, as Truffaut takes us behind the scenes on a movie set where reality and script become hopelessley intermingled as the love lives of all concerned become increasingly entangled. A captivating and sentimental comedy built around the illusions of cinema.

CertificationPG Our Rating
A housewife, trapped by a slobbish husband and the economic circumstances of the 1930s, goes to the movies to escape. Then one day a character on the screen steps out into the real world and falls in love with her.... A very clever Woody Allen comedy with a bitter sweet twist.
